Pegasus looked closer he realized that this wasn't a creature, it was a kid! No older than 16 THIS IS THE SILVER DRAGON?! Pegasus' mind screamed, as he looked closer he noticed that the kid's eyes were just like Ryou had described, his eyes looked human but his pupils looked like cats eyes.

"No sir you mustn't do that" cried the ring master

Pegasus moved his head just in time to see a flash from a camera by and a complete idiot and gasped along with a few screaming people to what just happened, there was a whooshing sound and Pegasus noticed wings were coming from this kids back and covering his face, as he removed them he began to spread them out wide as if saying 'get back, my territory' but as he looked closer to his face he noticed that his was silently crying and tears were threatening to escape his eyes.

Please make it stop, make this pain go away; I don't want to be here anymore someone, please, HELP ME!

As Pegasus looked at his body he managed to make out some of the details on the boy's body, first of the wings were completely silver with sparkled glitter, his tail was long but not small so it must be somewhere between his bum to his back knees and his claws were slightly large but not enough to cause damage.

"Someone remove this man from this tent please?" called the ring master, a few of the circus people grabbed the man and threw him outside the tent and made sure that he didn't come in again "anyway ladies and gentleman, this is the boy that was punished by the gods because of his beauty, they were jealous because he got all the attention and glory, they worshipped him because in their eyes, he was a god, this angered the gods so much, that they cursed him into a creature not human, not an animal, but somewhere in between"

Most of the audiences 'ooh and aah' while taking photos from their phones and thankfully weren't flashing lights like most cameras.

As Pegasus kept on looking at the child he became more determined to do something to help this poor kid don't worry kid Pegasus thought to him, by the end of the week, I will save you from this prison.

(After the show)

Pegasus walked out of the tent with Mokuba skipping ahead of him

"Omgosh" he exhaled "that was the best thing I ever saw, wait till I tell Seto about the silver dragon, maybe he will go see it with me next time"

Before Pegasus could even stop himself he said "no Mokuba, I need you to make sure you don't tell Kaiba about this" causing Mokuba to stay where he was, at first he was shocked but could now tell that Pegasus was serious because he didn't say 'boy' at the end of his brother's name.

"Why don't you want him to know?" he asked while looking at him.

"Trust me Mokuba it's best that you don't know, for now anyway"

"Ok?" Mokuba was now puzzled

"Never mind let's find Yugi and his friend so I can send you all home"

He didn't need to say that because Yugi and Ryou were walking towards them "hey you guys, did you enjoy the show?"

"Yes we did Yugi, it was amazing" Mokuba ended up forgetting what Pegasus just said to him and started jumping up and down like he was on sugar rush.

"And since you're here, I need you to do me a favor and take Mokuba home in the limo, I need to stay here and check something" Pegasus said

Yugi looked at Pegasus and could tell it was something to do with business and that creature that was in the box "don't worry Pegasus we'll make sure that Mokuba gets to Kaiba safe and sound"

"Good, tell the driver to come back as well" Yugi nodded and walked over to the limousine with Ryou and Mokuba in tow. Pegasus watched them until they got into the car, after the car drove off he went behind the circus tent to see a fenced off area that held all the animals for the show. He entered the area and took a look around to see if he could find the dragon, it wasn't till he tried to turn a corner did he hear the sound of a young boy crying out in pain did he try to hide.

"Nice going servant" said the man who chucked the boy to the ground

"I agree" Pegasus recognized as the ring master "thanks to you and your performance we made more money than we used to" he grabbed the boy by the collar and picked him up so that his feet were barely touching the ground, he gave the kid a sick smirk and threw him into the cage earning a 'oomph' in the process "oh cheer up will you? I'm going to be generous and give you some good bread for being a good boy with some good water" as he said 'bread' and 'water' he pulled out some good bread from his left pocket and a bowl of water from behind his back in his right hand, he chucked the bread at the kid and placed the cup down so hard in his cage that nearly half the water had spilled out "until tomorrow 'money maker'" and with that he laughed as he got out of the cage while locking it and leaving the boy still on the floor crying his poor eyes out.

When he was sure that they had gone Pegasus came out from his hiding spot and walked slowly towards the cage.

The boy heard movement and quickly lifted up his head to see a strange looking man with jeans and a hoodie, and quickly took his food and drink so the man wouldn't take them before he even dug in.

"Relax kid I'm not going to hurt you" the man said as he held up his hands "my name is Maximillion Pegasus and I just wanted to get to know you more" he smiled kindly to the still frightened boy.

As the boy looked closer he noticed that the man named Pegasus dug his hand into what the people called 'pockets' to retrieve something, thinking that it was something bad he quickly ran into a corner and buried his hands into his knees while wrapping his arms around them.

Pegasus noticed this and quickly retrieved the item; it was a bottle of water, the volcanic kind and quickly rolled it into the cage.

The boy looked up to find something against his leg; he shakily grabbed the bottle and looked at it then back at Pegasus

"What's wrong, never seen a bottle before" Pegasus raised an eyebrow

Since it was obvious that he was giving it to him the boy just shook his head

"Give it to me then and I'll open it for you" he moved so his arm was inside the cage gesturing the boy to put it in his hand.

The kid looked at the bottle, then to the man and back to the bottle again, since he really didn't have a choice he carefully moved forward and placed the bottle into his hand.

Pegasus moved his other arm into the cage to prove to the boy that he wasn't teasing him with the water, opened the cap and reached forward as far as he could to the boy to give it back him.

The kid gladly took the bottle and drank as much as he could geese what have they done to this poor kid he hasn't eaten in ages, let alone able to drink proper water Pegasus thought, he reached into his other pocket and pulled out a chocolate bar, he unwrapped half of it and held it out for the kid who gladly snatched it after chugging down all the water.

"You look like you needed that" Pegasus said with a slight chuckle.

The boy nodded at him, but then crawled into the corner when he heard footsteps come closer to the cage. Pegasus noticed the frightened expression on the kids face; he took a guess that it was one of the guards that was coming.

"Hey kid, don't worry, I'll try and get you out of here" Pegasus whispered, before he turned around and gave the kid a nod, to say he'll be back.

The next day Pegasus sat in his living room thinking of ways to save the boy from the circus, every time he got an idea he knew it was a useless one because he would have no idea how to act on it, the only idea he had was to buy him off them, but he knew it would be tricky, plus he didn't like thinking of the boy as an object, that was to cruel. After a few more minutes Pegasus decided that he would go to the circus again, to try and talk to the boy, to gain his trust, he knew it would be hard work but he was willing to do it for the boy's safety. While he was thinking of the boy he decided to bring some food with him because he knew all the food the boy was eating wasn't very healthy, so he decided to bring something decent to eat which was some fresh wheat bread, a bottle of water and would get some fish from the market on his way there, he placed the food into a mini packet, placed both bottle and bread into his rather large pockets and left his apartment after closing and locking it, he entered his limo and told them to go to the markets near the center, he ordered two big fishes which was then put into a bag that would stop the smell from escaping, got back into the limo and headed off once again to the circus.

"Mr. Pegasus, we're here" Pegasus hadn't realized he slept until the driver woke him up, it was weird that blonde boy had such of an effect him, he didn't really get a decent night sleep because of it, but he didn't mind, as long as he got some sleep afterwards anyway.

"Thank you, please wait here I won't be gone for long" he says as he gets out of the limo

"Yes sir" he says and goes back to his driver seat.

As Pegasus made his way through the circus maze he heard the familiar whimper coming from the boy again, obviously they were beating him again, he grabbed his phone out and snuck behind a tent, he carefully lifted it so it was facing them all and took a few photos, if he ever resulted into buying him and they refused then he would have no choice but to black mail them and show that he had proof of child abuse, though he really wouldn't do that because then they would take him to the research facility and the disgusting scientists would treat him the same way but with drugs and experiments.

"Stay in there till we need you boy" growled a man after slamming the cage door and locking it shut before leaving him with no food.

Pegasus just looked at him in disgust as he put the mobile away; once he was sure the man was gone he carefully made his way to the boy and carefully tried to get his attention

"Hey little boy, remember me?" he said with a polite smile

The boy who was eating some stale bread, looked up at the sound of someone's voice, and he noticed it was the same man who came to see him yesterday

"Ew don't tell me you're eating that garbage?" he says while pulling his nose upwards

The boy looked down then back to Pegasus and nodded slowly

"Well we've got to change that now haven't we? We can't have a weak boy who can barely walk out of here can we?"

The boy just looked at him puzzled

"Never mind, here these are for you" he placed his hands in his pockets and pulled out a bag of fish, a bottle and some bread, he tossed the bread and water into the cage which landed next the boy, who wolfed and chugged them all down and amazingly didn't choke, next he pulled the fish out of the bag and the boy started wagging his tail excitedly like a dog waiting to go on a walk, Pegasus did the same thing by tossing the fish in where the boy quickly grabbed them and started ripping the heads off before eating them, thankfully Pegasus didn't feel queasy when it happened, he looked at his watch and realized that he had to leave "listen boy I'm going to have to go, but I promise that I'll see you everyday day of the week with some food for you alright?"

The boy looked at the man who gave him the food and knew that it would happen, but if he came yesterday then he was sure that he would come again tomorrow, so he nodded to show that he understood.

Pegasus gave him a rare genuine smile "alright I'll see you tomorrow, until then" he got up, dusted himself off and left the poor kid once again don't worry child, by the end of the week, you will be living with me he thought as he walked towards the limo.

(Saturday Morning)

He tried and tried but still Pegasus had no luck in finding other ways into getting the boy, so he came to plan B: buy him from them and use black mail if necessary. So he got ready in his business suite and headed out for the circus. When he arrived, he noticed they had already started packing up, so he knew he only had one shot at this, thankfully he didn't have to look long to find an employee who worked at the circus, he walks up to him and says "Hi my name is Maximillion Pegasus, and I would like to speak to your boss about a business proposition."

The man looks at him while gaping like a fish, before finally coming to his senses and gesturing him to follow with his finger, two bodyguards came up behind Pegasus, the guard on the right gave him a briefcase after Pegasus moved his hand outwards, he moved it back in before following after the man.

It wasn't long till they came to the ring masters trailer, the employee knocked on the door before steeping to the side and Pegasus stepped slightly forwards.

The door opened slightly reveling, a bald head peeking through "Who is it?"

"My name is Mr. Pegasus and I'm here for a business proposition" he said in his business voice

The bald man's eyes widened "one moment please"

Pegasus nodded his head before the door slammed shut, there were a few banging noises before the man properly opened the door wearing the same outfit he wore in the ring (1)"sorry about that, how about we discuss this in my tent next to my trailer?"

"Very well then" Pegasus moved so the man had enough space to leave and show them inside the tent, it turned out to be very spacious and had a few candles on various sets of tables.

"Now what can I do for you Mr. Pegasus?" he said in a business voice

"You may not have notice but I came here on Tuesday and watched your show, and I must say that you made an impressive show" Pegasus smirked

"Well we people do what we can to make sure people have a good run for their money"

"I can imagine, but I am more interested in the young boy that you had on display at the end"

The man paled, this was the first time that anyone asked for the kid "what is it?"

"I have an interest in buying the kid, and I can pay well if you accept" there was a slight evil glint in his eye but he tried to stay simple as possible.

"I'm sorry sir but he is not for sale, he belongs with us" the replied simply but Pegasus could tell there was nervousness in his voice

"Is this your final answer then?" he slightly threatened

"Yes sir it is"

"Then you leave me with no choice" he pulled out the phone that was in his left pocket and clicked on the photos that he took when they abused the boy and showed them to the man "as you know it is illegal to abuse underage kids, so if you don't give him to me now then I will have no choice but to report this to the police"

"You're bluffing, if you did that then he will be taken to a science place and be dissected" the man nearly cried out

"I can make sure they don't know about that, but I can assure you that you will still be sentenced for child abuse and thrown into prison, my offer is one thousand yen, take it or leave it"

The man thought for a moment, if he refused the deal then no matter how far he ran the police would get him and Pegasus would still get the boy, however if he took the deal he would get money but wouldn't have the boy that gave them more money than when they didn't have him.

"Have you reached your decision?"

The man sighed "deal"

Pegasus managed to breath out a relief without the others noticing and gave the man the brief case "you can keep the case, consider it a gift, and I give you my word that no one will know of this and what you did to the boy"

It was the man's turn to breathe out relief "thank you sir"

They both shook hands and Pegasus left the tent and followed the employer to the cage the boy lived in.

"Good news freak, you just got bought" the man said

The boy looked from the man to the one in a suit and in an instant began to cower away, though the man in the suit looked familiar, the man walked towards him and said "as you know my name is Mr. Pegasus, call me that and we'll get along just fine" that was when the boy realized it was the same man who was talking to him the past week, he nodded when he was asked a question and began to stand up when the man came over and unclipped his chains and placed a collar with a leash around his neck "this is just in case he tries to run away" the man said as he handed the lead to Pegasus.

"I don't think that will be necessary, since it is clear that he can barely stand at all, isn't that right?" he asked the boy who nodded "but I will keep it on him till we leave, thank you once again for your time" he turned to leave with the boy wobbling behind him but not far for him to start choking on the collar since it was a little loose around his neck.

As they got into the limo and started to drive off Pegasus looked at the boy and said "I am going to get you out of this collar, so can you please try not to move too much, I don't want to hurt you" he said with a sad voice at the end.

The boy only nodded again as Pegasus began to take the collar off of his neck "is that better?" he asked, the boy nodded again.

"Can you talk at all?" the boy shook his head "is it because you lost your voice or is it because you talk in another language?" the boy held two fingers up, which meant that he could only speak in another language "what language is it?"

To be honest the boy wasn't sure what language it was so he said in his own tongue "Is est lingua ego narro" (1)

Pegasus was shocked and was sure his jaw dropped, he assumed the boy was speaking Arabic, instead he finds out that the boy is speaking Latin, a dead and lost language.

"Mr. Pegasus, we're here sir" called the driver from the front.

Pegasus looked around the limo for something to hide the boy's body with; as he looked in one of the hidden compartments he found a blanket that was just long enough to hide some of the tail as well as the wings "alright then, can you wrap your tail around your waist? Is just so no one can see your true appearance, I promise you that once we get inside I will get rid of it and you can spread your wings out for as long as you want" the boy nodded and began folding his wings as close to him as possible and wrapped his tail around his waist "I am going to start wrapping this around you ok?" he warned the boy

Again the boy nodded and Pegasus slowly began to wrap the piece of material around most of the boys top half, when he had finished there was only a tip of the wing showing "ok then let's get you inside and warm you up" he wrapped an arm around the boys waist and held him close, 1, to make sure the blanket wouldn't fall of and 2, because the poor boy was shivering

(When they got into the penthouse)

"This is your new home now" Pegasus said to him as he pulled the blanket off of the boy "while you stretch yourself out I'm going to get you some food, you look like you need it" he lightly chuckled and left to get super done.

When he saw Pegasus had left the boy took into his surroundings, it was obvious that the man was rich, but it was absolutely clean and tidy, he stretched out his wings and tail and was slightly glad to be able to do this, he also heard a few joints pop and crack but that was mostly because he was stuck inside the cage since he was a child, he managed to re track his wings as Pegasus came out of the kitchen

"The foods done, you can come in now" he went back in with the boy following

"I didn't know what you liked so I gave you some fish, bread and water, like when you were in that disgusting place"

The boy slightly shivered but went over to the table and waited for Pegasus' order to sit down and eat. "Well sit and dig in then" the boy quickly sat down and slowly ate his food, afraid that if he ate it all he wouldn't get any more for tomorrow.

Reading the boys mind Pegasus replied "if you think I'm going to starve you then no I'm not like those idiots in the circus, I give people respect, so eat as much as you want and don't hesitate to ask for more, I can understand your language since I'm part archeologist" he explained

The boy still ate slow but wasn't too fast to eat it all and started to feel sleepy

"Let's get you to bed then, we can talk about the rules tomorrow" he placed the dishes in the sink picked the boy up bridal style and placed him in his room so he could keep an eye on him during the night, he showered and dressed the boy even though it was slightly tricky to do and helped him get on the bed, to the boys surprise it felt like he was sleeping on petals "do you have a name?" he asked, the boy shook his head, Pegasus helped him to get under the blankets and went into the bathroom to quickly change into his bed clothes, placed them near his bed and began to get under the covers with the boy who he noticed had already fallen asleep, Pegasus couldn't help but smile "good night…Malik" and with that he fell asleep.
